I uploaded gnome-shell without the workaround. The original problem, i.e. refusal to import msgstr[0] strings without %d, is not present any longer.
It complains about the Turkish PO file, but those complaints are probably motivated due to absent msgstr[1] lines in the upstream PO. Other complaints, which were there also when the workaround (i.e. deleted "#, javascript-format" lines in the POT) was in place, are about strings which are no longer in the POT, and hence don't matter much. @Colin: Does LP really try to import such strings? ** Changed in: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) Status: In Progress => Fix Committed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to gettext in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1756547 Title: LP refuses to import plural strings where e.g. msgstr[0] entries in PO file miss %d Status in Launchpad itself: Fix Released Status in Ubuntu Translations: Triaged Status in gettext package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Fix Committed Bug description: Some strings of GNOME Shell are untranslated in the Czech translation on Ubuntu 18.04 although they are translated upstream and when I try to manually translate them on launchpad, I get this error: "number of format specifications in 'msgid_plural' and 'msgstr[0]' does not match".
